Boy, seems like most late 4th quarter scores were really unhelpful today, barring the late flurry in KC that gave us the Over. It was really kind of a crappy luck day over all, so time for a mini-rant/breakdown.
The Redskins outgained the Browns 351 to 236 yards, yet only won by 3 as a late Browns’ score killed the Redskins’ side, and the subsequent successful 2 point conversion killed the 2nd half play by one point. Gawd.
The Lions throw a 94-yard touchdown pass (and another successful 2 point conversion to kill a 2nd half play) en route to 11 unanswered 4th quarter points. I personally had the Texans -7 to settle for the disappointing push (hope you had -7 as well – that number was available for near an entire day).
The Vikings outgained the Bears by 102 yards…and lost by 7 points.
The Saints outgained the Panthers by a few yards…and lost 7-30. How is that possible, lol. And how is possible the Saints couldn’t put at least another touchdown on the board to push the Over bet.
The Dolphins outgained the Ravens by 2 yards…and lost 13-27. Thank you pick 6.
Dallas meaningless touchdown late in the 4th to kill an Under.
Indy converts 4th downs near the very end of game to eventually get a touchdown that pushes my Under (though it was probably a loss for most others unless you got the 48 early).
The 49ers were only outgained by 20 yards, yet lost by 12 points.
The Bengals were kind enough to score their only touchdown of the game with less than a minute left in the first half to kill the PIT -6 1st half bet. The Steelers were kind enough to score the majority of their points in the second half, ensuring that the first half bet was a loser as well as the Unders for the game.
Missed the Over in SD/BUF when Rivers throws an interception in the end zone. Multiple chances for that last touchdown to push the Over, but no dice.
Sure, there may have been a couple of breaks that helped with some of the plays somewhere along the way, but other than the late points in KC, nothing significant comes to mind, lol. Last week I felt pretty snake bit as well. Oh well, the football Gods showed me a pretty good time in weeks 2-5, and they seem dead set on getting a little, a verrrrry little bit back of what was made earlier in the season.
Still, if things continue to follow the script in the TB/SEA game (17-0 2 minutes left in 1st half), we’ll still be looking at being pretty near even for the week, which ain’t bad considering all of the above!
